Heading down the highway at speeds of 60 miles per hour, with the suspension of a horse and buggy skidding across cobblestone, the back of your moving truck isn’t going to look quite like the mental picture you took just before closing the hatch. If you are not careful, your boxes can make like Mexican jumping beans and you’ll have to phone in the National Guard to come in for some clean up duty before moving in to your new place. These helpful tips when loading your moving truck should teach your boxes to sit and stay, without dropping a deuce all over the floor of your moving truck.Tip 1: Load the heaviest items in first. As a rule of thumb, before you load a big box chalk full of random mementos you are going to want to load whatever major appliance or piece of furniture was originally delivered in that box. If one or two items are significantly heavier than the rest of your stuff, make sure to set them on separate sides of the truck. Balance is key if you don’t want your truck or trailer to be doing the Ickey Shuffle side to side down the interstate.Tip 2: Use mattresses, futon pads and other surfaces you used to pass out on as buffers to surround your more valuable, fragile possessions. You might love your big screen television and you might also love your book shelf, but you most certainly won’t be as fond of the hybrid lovechild they create bumping against each other in the back. Pretend like it’s your sisters first date and send the mattress as a chaperone so the book shelf keeps its safe distance.Tip 3: Place cumbersome or awkwardly shaped objects in last to make sure they will have little room to move or wiggle as roll down the road. After all, if your table is really that awkward it’s probably used to getting picked last and would be more comfortable hanging out in the corner anyway.
